STUCK ON U SKETCHES DESIGN TEAM REVEAL - SEPT 27TH - FAMILY


Happy Friday everyone.
WELCOME TO THE STUCK ON U SKETCHES DESIGN TEAM REVEAL.


I love this sketch, and found it came together very easily. It shouldn't take too long at all.

HOW TO MAKE THIS LAYOUT
First choose your photo, card, paper and embellies.
Tear the edges off the pretty paper and adhere to the backing card.
Add a white doily.
Matt photo and adhere.
Take some cardboard and paint with white paint.
Tear into two strips and add one strip underneath the photo and doily across the base and add one through the right side of the photo.
Take some cotton ribbon, (I sprayed mine with mist), and scrunch up and glue to the base of the cardboard. Attach with hot glue.
Take a small strip of the painted cardboard and attach to the right hand corner of your layout.
So now you have the basis of the layout, its time to decorate.
Add flowers, butterflies, buttons, and ribbon with hot glue.
I sewed on my buttons with thread.
I made beaded bodies for my butterflies.
I added a rub on title and quote.
I hope you like it and give it a go.

LIFE DREAM LOVE


Morning all - for this layout I have used a lovely sketch from C'est Magnifique .

http://cestmagnifiquekits.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/welcome-to-our-september-sketch.html


THIS IS WHAT I DID

I have tried to keep quite true to the sketch for this one as it is so pretty.
So first of all I cut down my pretty paper to 11.5x11.5 inches and adhered to my background card.
Then I took the lovely die cut chippy and primed it with gesso then added various mists and attached.
I added small glass beads to the centres of parts of the flowers.
I then added all the die cut pieces to finish making a circle.
With the circle done, I matted my photo and adhered to one side.
I glued some cheesecloth underneath.
Now comes the best bit, decorate and embellish with flowers, beads etc.
A lovely sketch, so I hope you give it a try.

6th FORM

 
 
Morning all, today I have a layout for you that I have entered into the September challenge over at http://www.flourishwithabling.com.au/blog/.
I have also entered this into the September challenge over at http://inkido.blogspot.ca/2013/09/september-challenge-layers-and-border.html.
Do go check them all out as the inspiration is amazing.
THIS IS WHAT I DID.
I used the flourish from Flourish With A Bling for my inspiration.
I found a pink sheet of cardstock which I cut down to 11.5x11.5inches then I misted with Purple and silver mist.
I attached this to some white backing card.
I cut down a sheet of black cardstock to 8x8inches and used a border punch down the sides, I adhered this.
I matted my distressed photo onto black cardstock that I also distressed. I adhered this.
I attached a white doily.
I die cut a clock face using chipboard, then glued a black cardstock clock on the top, then added the clock hands and attached this.
I used a doily punch on white card for one of the layers.
I added another layer from some silver hessian/burlap.
I added my FWAB purple swirl.
I added my journaling block.
I then decorated with assorted flowers and beaded butterfly.
I added the title - and that's it. Why not give it a go.
Bye for now.

KEEP CALM AND GRADUATE - OFF THE PAGE - CANVAS


HI scrappers its September and the start of a new term, so I look forward to lots of scrappy time.
I know this looks like a layout, but its actually a 12x12 canvas.
THIS IS WHAT I DID
I glued down a sheet of black cardstock onto the canvas so that you could just see a small edge of canvas.
I cut down a sheet of Prima script paper and distressed the edges, I misted this with some tattered angels mists, then adhered with some PVA glue.
I matted my photos onto polka dot paper in black to match the neck tie, and in grey to match the suit.
I attached these then added a few layers using mulberry paper that I ripped and inked.
I decorated with assorted flowers, leaves, twine and tags.
I added the title using an alpha die.
Part of the title is missing , it must have fallen off, oops - the Keep Calm and - is missing, but as I have now given this away as a gift I cannot retake the photo! Hope you like it anyway.
